Diablo Immortal
Blizzard Entertainment released this free-to-play, action role-playing game in 2021. Be forewarned that this one does require a stable internet connection as it is an MMO. It is designed to offer many small tasks averaging about 15 minutes each for the dungeon setting. Players have a selection of six characters, each with 12 unlockable abilities. This is a great game to play with friends.

Developed by Phoenix Labs and published by Epic Games, Dauntless is an action, role-playing game set in a fantasy world taken over by man-eating beasties.

Apex Legends
Respawn Entertainment developed the most awaited Apex Legends. It has two gameplay modes, Battle Royale and Arena. In the former, players form squads and must keep moving and gather supplies to defeat their opponents and avoid finding themselves outside of a slowly shrinking arena. In the latter, players form squads of three players each, and they go head to head over several rounds in a deathmatch.
Plants Vs. Zombies 3
This super-fun time killer was developed by PopCap Games and is a defense video game that requires players to ward off zombies from a house. The lawn of the house is sectioned into a grid which a player fills up with plants, each with their own mode of self defence. The zombies also possess their own special, creepy abilities.
Total War: Warhammer
The game portrays a newly-elected emperor who seeks to restore peace to his fractured kingdom. He must take control of the empire and mend the grudge between the realms surrounding him so that things can go back to the way they used to be and bring harmony to the Old World. The four factions include the humans, the goblins, the dwarfs and the vampires.
H1Z1
H1Z1 is a battle royale game that requires players to fight to the death, with the last man standing as the winner. Once the players touchdown, they should get a hold of anything they can use to defend themselves while hiding from any in-game characters who might be trying to kill them. Toxic gases are also released in the arena from time to time just to spice things up.
Summoners War: Chronicles
Players are required to advance their characters through life skills and run around in an open field slaying monsters. You can also form groups of three players each and go head-to-head with the bosses. Since users can also communicate with one another in game, this is a great game to play with a team of friends.
Townscaper
Oskar Stalberg, the developer of this game, did not have much of a variety of gameplay in mind when designing this game. Players are simply required to design a town on an island by stacking different colors of blocks to create various structures. Townscaper is more of a toy game and it requires that the players have a passion for building houses. You can build houses, bridges, little houses and stairways.
NieR Re[in]carnation
Being the latest game in the NeiR series, this role-playing game developed by Applibot is set in a world known as The Cage. The player assumes the role of a girl who is guided by a ghost-like figure throughout the game.
Pokémon Sleep
You might be wondering how sleep could ever turn into an entertaining activity. Apparently, this game promises to do exactly that! If Pokemon Go was able to transform walking into a pleasurable and entertaining activity, I do not doubt they will be able to pull this off with a new everyday activity. This game transforms sleep into gameplay by tracking your sleep.
Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier
The new battle royale game developed by Square Enix drops up to 75 players onto the map to fight and among them, a champion should emerge. Players should carefully choose their fighting styles, traits, and abilities to determine whether they emerge the winner or the loser.
